Hi all!
I am having a little trouble with the 'dvipdfm' (converting dvi to pdf files) program
I am using the default "Fedora Core 5" installation and whenever I try to run 'dvipdfm' on a .dvi file, it gives the following error
Code:
[user@localhost ~]$ dvipdfm test2.dvi
test2.dvi -> test2.pdf
[1]*** buffer overflow detected ***: dvipdfm terminated

Aborted
Everything else is working fine, i hope
So, if I have to get 'dvipdfm' to work again, what should I do? I tried searching for an update, but there are no updates for it in the Fedora repository
I have some experience with TeX installs -- but I don't know what to do here.
Please help!!
Any kind of help/alternative is appreciated
Thank You
